Using the +up/down arrow keys will cause the menu to scroll. When a symbol +disappears, it means you are at the top (or bottom) of the menu. + +In text fields, the amount of text above the current point will be +displayed as a percentage in the lower right corner. 100% means +you're at the bottom of the field. + +Selecting OK in a menu will confirm whatever action it's controlling. +Selecting Cancel will cancel the operation and generally return you to +the previous menu. + + +SPECIAL FEATURES: +================= + +It is also possible to select a menu item by typing the first +character of its name, if unique. Such "accelerator" characters will +be specially highlighted in the item name. + +The console driver also contains a scroll-back buffer for reviewing +things that may have scrolled off the screen. To use scroll-back, +press the "Scroll Lock" key on your keyboard and use the arrow or +Page Up/Page Down keys to move through the saved text. To leave +scroll-back mode, press the Scroll Lock key again. This feature +is most useful for dealing with sub-shells or other "wizard modes" +that don't use menus. + +Once the system is fully installed and running "multi-user", you will +also find that you have multiple "virtual consoles" and can use them to +have several active sessions at once. Use ALT-F<n> to switch between +them, where `F<n>' is the function key corresponding to the screen you +wish to see. By default, the system comes with 3 virtual consoles enabled. +You can create more by editing the /etc/ttys file, once the system is up, +for a maximum of 12. |
